Chris' Pause For Thought: Paul Kerensa

Chris' Pause For Thought: Paul Kerensa

From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:

On TV tonight, my wife and I are hooked on reality show 鈥楩irst Dates鈥� 鈥� spying on blind dates, and we root for them, from the comfort of our sofa, and marriage. Oh we鈥檝e been there, so we heckle the telly with how we鈥檇 behave: Ask a question! Don鈥檛 pick your nose! Stop eyeing the waitress!

The dating game is like no other 鈥� once you master playing it, you can鈥檛 be a player any more, like those sports where you get really really good then retire... and maybe coach others. I'd love to give an earpiece to a single friend on a date, us in the next room guiding like Special Ops.

But then again, I was never actually that good. I met my wife and escaped a thousand dating disasters 鈥� but I鈥檝e had a few. The date who turned up blind drunk... The date who texted her parents halfway through starter, asking them to come meet me by the time we ordered pudding for their opinion... Oh I鈥檝e suffered my share of romantic failures. But then I鈥檝e also caused plenty.

I鈥檓 not holier-than-thou. I have been that guy, the coward who didn鈥檛 call, romantically awkward and emotionally distant. I鈥檝e never dumped by text, but I might as well have done by how sudden or distant my words felt. I鈥檓 blessed with a beautiful wife and children 鈥� I learned by my failures, and who did I hurt while learning?

I believe we鈥檙e all amateur humans, in God鈥檚 perfect creation gone wrong. We鈥檙e fragile, and broken, and when we break others we should do our best to mend them. We may feel hard-done-by, but we鈥檝e hard-done others too: girlfriends, boyfriends, friends or family. So I will start with a big 鈥淪orry!鈥� to those I鈥檝e wronged - and this alternative version of The Lord鈥檚 Prayer:

Forgive us our romantic failings, letting down friends, or the unkind break-ups and breakdowns we鈥檝e committed against others... as we forgive those who romantically failed us, or friends or family we feel wronged by. Lead us not into bad relationships, deliver us from heartbreakers, for the perfect relationship might be divine, but in the mean time, may we treat each other well, and make a good impression, to the date鈥檚 parents, if they show up for profiteroles.
